'''Emilio Barbarigo''' (1421 - 11 September 1485) was a [[Venice|Venetian]] merchant and tyrant of Venice, and secretly a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].
 
Emilio was a member of the powerful [[House of Barbarigo|Barbarigo]] family based in Venice. He was somehow related to [[Marco Barbarigo]], [[Silvio Barbarigo]], and [[Agostino Barbarigo]].
 
==Biography==
===Merchant of Venice===
{{quote|He is attempting to unify the merchants beneath a single banner. There's been resistance, some of it violent.|[[Alvise da Vilandino]] speaking about Emilio's attempts to unify the merchants.|Assassin's Creed II}}
 
In Venice, Emilio had taken control of [[San Polo District|San Polo]], the mercantile district, and was ruling it with an iron fist. He charged the merchants there rent, and had his guards destroy their stand if it was not paid promptly.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed 2]]''</ref>
 
Emilio also provided weapons to the other Templars in Florence and funded the city [[Guards|guard]] entirely by himself. He lived in a large palace, called the [[Palazzo della Seta]], which was heavily guarded with iron gates, [[archers]], and [[brutes]].<ref name="AC2" />
 
===Meeting in Tuscany===
In 1480, Emilio attended a meeting within an [[Antico Teatro Romano|outdoor Roman theater]] in [[Tuscany]] organized and conducted by [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Templar Grand Master]] [[Rodrigo Borgia]]. The gathering included various other Templars, and one of the [[Pazzi Conspiracy|Pazzi conspirators]], [[Jacopo de' Pazzi]].<ref name="AC2" />
 
During this meeting, Jacopo talked about his failure in the [[Pazzi Conspiracy|plot to kill the Medici]] with Rodrigo and Emilio.[[File:With Friends 5 v.png|thumb|250px|right|Jacopo pleads for his life to Emilio.]] Jacopo attempted to blame Emilio, claiming he did not supply them with quality weapons. However, Rodrigo intervened, shouting at Jacopo, and eventually stabbing him with a [[stiletto]]. Jacopo then pleaded to be spared, before Emilio shoved him to the ground, laughing sadistically.<ref name="AC2" />
 
With Jacopo injured on the stage floor, Rodrigo brandished his blade, and thrust it through Jacopo's neck. Cleaning off his bloodied blade, Rodrigo called out to the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who had tailed Jacopo to the meeting and had been spying on the Templars. Rodrigo had his guards seize Ezio, and told them to kill the Assassin. After this, both Rodrigo and Emilio departed from the theater.<ref name="AC2" />
 
===Death===

It's the Assassin you should be worried about!|Emilio and Carlo discuss the Assassin presence in Venice.|Assassin's Creed II}}
[[File:EMG_4.png|thumb|225px|left|Carlo Grimaldi warning Emilio.]]
On 11 September 1485, Emilio met with fellow Templar and member of the Council of Ten, [[Carlo Grimaldi]], at the former's palazzo. Carlo informed him that Ezio Auditore was targeting him, and that he should stay vigilant. Carlo also told Emilio of a meeting that was to take place three days from then at [[Santo Stefano]]. Before leaving, Carlo advised Emilio to leave Seta and reside somewhere less conspicuous.<ref name="AC2" />
 
After his meeting with Carlo, Emilio ordered one of his men to fetch his boat and then to begin loading it when it had arrived. While waiting for his boat, Emilio wandered around the interior courtyard of his palazzo, muttering statements of paranoia to himself. During Emilio's frantic patrol, Ezio managed to make his way into the courtyard, but not before being spotted by the merchant.<ref name="AC2" />
 
Upon seeing Ezio, Emilio began to run and called for his guards furiously. Despite his attempt to flee though, Ezio caught up to Emilio, and assassinated him with his [[hidden blade]]. During his final moments, Emilio claimed that he had sought unity, stability, and order, but also that this progress demanded sacrifice. Emilio then perished, and Ezio prepared himself to fight Emilio's guards.<ref name="AC2" />
 
==Final words==
[[File:EMG_6.png|thumb|220px|right|Emilio's final moments.]]
'''Ezio:''' "''Do not be afraid."''
 
'''Emilio:''' "''I feel no fear, Assassin. Only regret. I sought unity. Stability. Order."''
 
'''Ezio:''' "''At too great a cost."''
 
'''Emilio:''' "''Progress demands sacrifice."''
 
'''Ezio:''' "''Non trovo alcuna gioia in questo, ma non c'è altro modo.'' (I take no joy in this, but I see no other way.) ''Requiescat in pace.'' (Rest in peace.)"

*There is a portrait of Emilio in Ezio's [[Florence|Florentine]] villa in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]''.
